Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, sliced bananas, walnuts, and maple syrup

Instructions
 

Prep the Oats: Start by blending the rolled oats in a food processor or blender until they reach a fine flour consistency. This is your oat flour.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your waffles light and fluffy.

          Preheat Your Waffle Iron: While the mixture rests for a few minutes, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

            Cook the Waffles: Once the waffle iron is ready, spray it lightly with cooking spray or brush with coconut oil. Pour an adequate amount of the batter onto the waffle iron (about 1/2 cup, depending on your model), close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Cooking time may vary, so check your waffle maker's guidelines.

              Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as Greek yogurt, sliced bananas, walnuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
